I just hate this.
I've got a four-day weekend fast approaching and I don't want to feel like I'm wasting it, but it's pretty much inevitable that I will feel that way once it's over.
Tomorrow I'm driving up to Cincinnati to catch a Reds game. I'll check out some bars, spend the night in a hotel, and drive back Saturday morning.
Then I've got this Survivor party to attend. For some unknown reason, I'm just not looking forward to this. I guess I've been hoping for a better offer, but none has come. So I'll go and try to enjoy myself.
Sunday is wide open. I imagine that I'll end up at Fourth Street Live.
None of this is what I really want to do this weekend.
What I really want to do is get into my truck, pick a direction, and just start driving. And keep driving until I find whatever it is I've been missing.
But some things are too far away for even a four-day weekend trip.
And some things are hidden so well that even I don't know what they are.
And some things don't even exist.
I just hate this.
